Shotgun start is at 9 a.m.
Proceeds from the event will go toward equipment for the Department of Parks & Recreation's Ocean Recreation and Junior Guard programs at the Hale'iwa Surf Center, which serves hundreds of youths in various programs.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing will donate a Boston whaler sport model boat, a Yamaha wave runner, and assorted equipment and trailers for each, worth in excess of $25,000.
"This is going to have a direct positive impact on our Ocean Recreation program," said ocean recreation specialist Kerry Terukina in a press release. "Not only that, it will open up programs we are looking to develop in the future."
